Adapted from sci-fi novel ‘Red Alert’ by Peter George, Kubrick’s tour-de-force of political satire feels unnervingly prescient in the context of current global politics. Set mainly within legendary production designer Ken Adam’s imposing war-room, DR. STRANGELOVE... charts an absurd but inexorable path towards nuclear oblivion that’s triggered when an unhinged American general believes the Russians have caused his impotency. - BFI
